This unique study pioneers a new philosophical claim in nationalism and theological studies. Arab nationalism and Salafism, a religious movement, are reviewed, and Arab nationalism is asserted to function inside Salafi thought throughout Arab history. Philosophical assertation is interpreted with historical case studies throughout Arab political history starting from the Medieval Ages towards the 20th century. It highlights that Salafi thought, known as a religious term within Islam, is indeed a political ideology which led the Arabs to create nation-states, mobilizing them against the surrounding threats and enemies, even shaking the world via global Arab insurgency, in other words global jihadism. The study helps readers and researchers look at well-known matters via a different, original and new perspective. The book will be an invaluable reference for researchers, students, scholars, historians, politicians, and theologians concerned with Islam, religion-state relations, and nationalism studies.
